[[Image:SW13th.jpg|thumb|right|Space Wolves of the 13th Great Company{{Fn|6}}]]
'''Dekk-Tra''', the '''13th Great Company''', the '''Corpse Renders''', was one of the original [[Great Companies]] of the [[Space Wolves]] [[Space Marine Legion|Legion]] of the [[Adeptus Astartes]]. Known as '''Wulfenkind''', or the '''Wolf Brothers'''{{fn|3}}, they disappeared during the [[Horus Heresy]], only to re-emerge from the [[Eye of Terror]] during the [[Thirteenth Black Crusade]].{{fn|7}}{{fn|16}}
==History==
It was among the ranks of the Wolf Brothers that the [[Wulfen|Curse of the Wulfen]] first appeared, afflicting warriors in the heat of battle without any prior warning. During the [[Dulan Campaign]], two Legionaries succumbed in quick succession - although the affliction had been seen before by Jorin and his huscarl, [[Bulveye]]. The [[Wolf Priest]] [[Ulbrandr Crowhame]] was unable to discover any physiological cause, neither was the [[Rune Priest (Space Wolves)|Rune Priest]] [[Leif Hemligjaga]] able to detect any trace of ''[[Chaos|maleficarum]]''. Jorin resolved to keep it a secret, telling not even the primarch.{{Fn|11a}}
Bulveye later succeeded Jorin as jarl and led the Wolf Brothers as part of the 954th [[Expeditionary Fleet]] at the [[Battle of Kernunnos]]{{fn|3}} and the [[Battle of Prospero]], where they disappeared.{{Fn|8}} The 13th Great Company is also known to have taken part in the first [[Siege of Cthonia]] alongside the [[Imperial Fists]] 9th and 14th battalios and 456th company, as well as some [[Adeptus Custodes]] sodalities.{{Fn|15}}
